Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we are sharing the loss of a great musician, husband and family member, Tim Alexander. This Texas music legend was heralded from this world on April 8, 2017.  Not ony has Tim left a hole in the music industry, but his family has lost their rock.  His wife, Jennifer, was graced with his love for 20 years, and is especially devastated by the loss of her soul mate so suddenly. Tim was a gentle soul who was loved and respected by all who ever met him. His positive energy and kindness were part of the things that made him so special.  His love of music, family and pets could not be denied. His band mates through the years include members of Asleep at the Wheel, Elvis T. Busboy & the Blues Butchers, as well as Reverend Horton Heat, and Jim Suhler, among multiple others. Tim’s keyboard playing and musical talents will be missed by many.  His absence will be noticed forever. Tim is survived by his cherished wife, Jennifer, brother Brian Alexander (Yori), nephew Kevin Alexander and niece Leslie Alexander of Plano, and mother-in-law Louise Danna of Dallas, sister-in-law Sheila Holmes and her husband Mark Ralph of Valley View. If you would like to honor Tim’s memory, please make a donation in his name to: Dalmation Rescue of North Texas, P.O. Box 866081, Plano, TX 75086-6081, phone 972-250-DALS, or (www.dalpal.com). A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held at: Ozona Restaurant 4615 Greenville Ave Dallas TX 75206 Sunday April 23 from 5:00-11:00 P.M. 214-265-9105 Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

    So sorry to hear about Tim this past weekend. I used to stop by to hear him play keyboard on Wednesday nights before he retired. We would sit and chat sometimes while he was on break. Nice gentleman and I’m sure he’ll be missed dearly. Praying for blessings and strength for Tim’s family.

    Tim was an extraordinary musician and showman. I loved his work on the last Tommy Morrell CD, and really enjoyed his performance at AATW’s 40th Anniversary party in Austin a few years back. The music community is shocked at his sudden passing and reeling from the loss. Tim will always be remembered and his inspiration lives on.

    Tim was a fixture in Little Forest Hills walking his cadre of dogs everywhere. It was a pleasure knowing him and I pray for his family’s comfort after their loss. I really think he has a very cool, fun, and interesting life.

    Jennifer, we send our deepest condolences. Your loss cannot be compared to ours but, know that our hearts are hurting so much for our collective loss. Betty and Tim were welcome neighbors that enriched all of Little San Fernando. You may not know this, but Tim introduced the use of plastic bags to pick up the poop in the ‘hood. Prior to Tim picking up, every little bit, NO ONE picked these treasures.
    Please note that this loss is felt so heavenly here in Denison and I am sure our heartache is felt around the world. Should you ever need anything, please contact us thru Cherry. Our love and “a Tim Hug” surrounds you.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
